Remo KD-5822-01 Kids Percussion Gathering Drum – Fabric Rain Forest, 22″
The Remo Kid’s Gathering Drum can be played with the hands, sticks, or mallets. Kids enjoy playing this big drum solo style but have the most fun when other kids (big kids too) join in the fun, inventing cool rhythm pattern all on there own.In every respect, this 22-inch-diameter drum surrounds you with the sounds of the jungle. The drum stands 7.5 inches tall on eight, wide, rubber-reinforced feet. On the outside shell, a kaleidoscopic menagerie of wild animals are on parade. Roaming through vivid foliage are a pink monkey with yellow ears and nose, a giant yellow and orange frog with green eyes and green and pink spots, a pink and red striped snake, an elephant, and a tiger. The drumhead looks like (but probably isn’t) real skin, and is reinforced below with a transparent plastic membrane. And the sound? Not at all bad. Variations of hand and finger action produce lots of different beats. –Louise Carter

As an adult I enjoy playing the rain forest one but would never play the cheap sounding rhythm kids drum. The difference isn’t only the…
LOVE Remo Kids My baby loves it!!! He’s had this since 8 months old, and has been beating on it constantly. By around 1 years old, he turned it upside down and slid in it butt first…. He played a little in there and then when hr realized he couldnt get out, he starting frowning and building up a cry!~ He wasn’t hurt as I was watching him closely. It was too cute not to snap a pic. See picture posted! LOVE Remo Kids!!!UPDATE: 03/03/2015 at 22 months he is still playing with it. He now hits…
Has annoying resonance I was a rock musician during the fun days, so I know what a decent drum is supposed to sound like. Kids won’t know the difference, but this drum has an annoying metallic sounding resonance, somewhat like hitting a large tin can. I purchased this based on the raving reviews, and it is completely puzzling how so many people would miss mentioning the resonance (are all the reviews real?). I know this is a kid product and not for professionals, but the product description talks about the…
